The Reinhardt Style (formely Slicker)

Description:

This is the Reinhardt style.

It is based very heavily on clee's dotNET style. It will eventually be an interpretation of Fop's mockups as seen on kde-look.org and the Slicker homepage. It is a proposal for the default Slicker widget style.

To install the style, do as follows:

$ ./configure
$ make
# sudo make install

It should now be available in the KDE Control Centre Style panel.
NB! You might very easily need to stick a --prefix=/usr or --prefix=/opt/kde3 at the end of the ./configure command. Which depends on the result of running kde-config --prefix

Should you wish to turn off the drop-shadow effect on text items, or wish to change the tab style, click on the Configure... button next to the style selection box in you Style Control Center module.

On the name:
Ad Reinhardt, 1913-1967
Reinhardt was an American minimalist painter, who became known for his extreme style, which also became more and more reductive from the mid 1950s, towards his death in 1967. After 1955 he worked almost exclusively in near-black. This said, there is in fact colour in the paintings, for example his "Abstract Painting no. 5", 1962, which can be found at the Tate Modern ( www.tate.org.uk ), is, though seemingly black-blue, in fact squared with blue and red.

Enjoy!

TODO (If you manage to fix these, please send me the .diff):

FIX: Button colours don't update when the colour scheme is changed

ADD: Mouse over highlighting of check and radio buttons still missing...
ADD: Remove (optional) stripes on slider bars
ADD: More controls to have drop shadow?
ADD: Make the distance between menu items user definable

Though this is the widget style, thank you very much for the kind words, they are much appreciated :) The next version will be LGPL, because it seems that the KDE people wishes for styles and icon sets to be LGPL before accepting them 'into the family' so to speak. So hopefully, I will be able to get Reinhardt included in either KDE 3.2, or in an update to it later on :) *crosses his fingers*

hi

first of really nice theme. But i can't get it to work.

the 'configure' part went fine, without an error message but when i do 'make' i always get this:

make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/vhl/Install/reinhardtstyle-0.5'
Making all in reinhardt
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/vhl/Install/reinhardtstyle-0.5/reinhardt'
make[2]: Für das Ziel »all« ist nichts zu tun.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/vhl/Install/reinhardtstyle-0.5/reinhardt'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/vhl/Install/reinhardtstyle-0.5'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/vhl/Install/reinhardtstyle-0.5'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vhl/Install/reinhardtstyle-0.5'

and after doing 'make install' the theme doesn't show up in the Theme-Manager.

so if someone knows what to do, please tell me, i'm really frustrated with that.

Where is KDE installed on your system? If it's installed in /opt/kde2 you will have to specify another prefix:

./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 \
&& make \
&& make install

First, thanks for the great work! Both the slicker style and the slicker icon theme is the best graphical enhancements i've seen for KDE.

I have also encounterd a small problem, which i think is a bug: When i try to listen to streaming radio in noatun, it krashes, but only when i use the slicker style, slicker.so is also mentioned in the traceback which i include below.

Hey Leinir, I was just wondering how you got the new beta version of JuK? Are you running CVS KDE? I'm asking because JuK 1.95 doesn't compile for me, and I've got KDE 3.1.3.

Oh, and thanks for this fantastic style!

maximusotter
17 years ago

Perfect! I'm a gnome convert, and was just going nuts with all the bubbly childish aqua wannabe stuff. Slicker is a bit fun but also serious and sexy, in a professional way of course :)

wouldn't change a thing.

ja-el

great skin, ive been using it since i first saw it on kdelook, but the new tabs really...suck...i simply hate them, could you build an options screen where there would be a switch between old and new tabs?

leinir
17 years ago

Thanks loads :) The tabs, do you mean the drop-shadow effect or the way they chosen tab is shown larger? The drop-shadow can be turned off, and the other will not be changed back, I'm afraid, as by far most people want it that way.

would anyone consider making a redhat rpm for this? I love the slicker icons but come into errors with trying to compile the theme. says that qt is not installed. but apt-get says it is. so there's not much more i can do.....besides beg :) have mercy. its a beautiful theme.

abemud
17 years ago

Just what I'm looking for. Thanks for your great job.

Only thing is Kmail "Check mail", "Reply", "Reply all" and "Forward" are all similar and looks bit dull. Not really a problem since I remember their location anyway.

Thanks again and please continue! This has to be the best.

You're reffering to the Slicker Icon Set :) Even if the two have the same name because they kind of go together, they're two different things on here ;) But thanks a lot for your kind words. I have noticed the mail icons myself (and been told about them from many others as well), and I've got an idea or two I want to try out to see if it works. Watch this space (uhm, site whatever) :)

Got the updated version

Ran
./configure
make
make install (as root)

make says it's got "nothing to do" with the file "all"
make install says the same thing about install-exec-am and install-data-am

Doesn't show up in my control center.

I'm on REdhat 8, and exported KDEDIR to /usr/share/kde

Any help is appreciated

leinir
17 years ago

What you describe does not make all that much sense, however the KDEDIR is almost certainly pointing to the wrong place. /usr/share/kde contains graphics and such for KDE, while the directory actually containing KDE in this case would be /usr (with the KDE binaries in /usr/bin).
Try running ./configure --prefix=/usr (and make sure that you don't get any errors reported, that would be the singular reason it reports ** no target: all when you try to run make)

GaijinPunch
17 years ago

I was able to compile the file okay, but it's not showing up in the Control Center. I did what one of the users said above (move slicker.lo and slicker.so to the specified directory) but I'm not finding slicker.so.

Any ideas?

tucanoj

You might need to run "updatedb" before you use slocate to search for the files. You'll need to su to root to run the previously mentioned command.

Slicker 0.1 works perfectly. I have just switched over to slicker. Great work.

I now have the slicker style combined with the MkUltra window decoration and am liking it a lot.

Simple, functional, elegant and fast.

Keep up the good work,
Carl

Hi,

First, Congrats on a great style! I really like it. I do have a suggestion though - toggle buttons do not seem to work - as in it is impossible to make out whether a button is toggled or not. This is especially true for programs like KCron when you're clicking the hours/minutes etc that a program is needed to run.

That is the only reason I had to move back to the .NET style. If you could add support for toggle buttons, I'd switch back to Slicker in a flash :)

I use the Slicker Style for KDM though, since there are no toggle buttons there. If you try using KCron with the Slicker style, you'll see what I mean.

Thanks and keep up the good work. This really is a great style.

Carl

Try downloading the newest version and tell me what you think :) A few days ago I uploaded version 0.1, where there is a fix for this particular problem (the buttons are now highlight when pressed).

Hi,

First of all, let me say I like the style very much. However, there's one thing that is keeping me from using it right now :

The toggle button doesn't show whether it's toggled or not with your style !

That's all :)

Yaba

This is also a bug in the dot net style.
